Other than the Old Testament itself there are no records of any of the Old Testament patriarchs. It's not until Kings and Chronicles that's there's any other sources mentioning the people in the Old Testament.
There's no records of most people who existed back then. Other nations didn't care about the patriarchs. They meant nothing to them, but they were important to the Jewish nation to whom the old testament was written. Egyptian pharaohs and other monarchs of the time weren't fond of people who wrote derogatory things about them.
If Moses were just another prophet or Hebrew king, that would make sense. But Moses is supposed have escaped Egypt with over 600,000 slaves; wiped out the Pharaoh's army; and killed all the first born sons in Egypt. Any one of those three events certainly would have been recorded.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
